Tea bowl IDentification

I recently found this tea bowl and have been searching the internet to help identify it. My search led me here, and I thought someone might be able to help me zero in on identifying this pot, and perhaps the mark on its bottom.

edit: DimensionsThe rim is about 6 1/2″ in diameter, and the stand is about 2″ high the bowl itself is about 2 1/2″ high making the entire pot about 4 1/2″ high.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hmmm I would venture to say the height of the foot is rather tall for your average teacup or chawan. Isn't that sort of height more common in ceremonial wares or wine cups?Out of curiosity I did a search and found a chawan with a similar shape but different style:http://www.rikyucha.com/item/list2/101981/

I think the bowl is definitely Japanese. I like it very much because the glazing is much more to my taste than most of what is called Mishima which I don't really care for too much. Too redundant. Slip is used to inlay the stamped designs. The Koreans were masters of this technique, rivaling and even surpassing the Chinese. This bowl has a very pleasing form to me and uses the tall foot very well. Tasty.
